Optoelectronic

'' Electro-optics '' is often erroneously used as a synonym, but is in fact a wider branch of Physics that deals with all interactions between light and Electric Charge , whether or not they form part of an electronic device.

Optoelectronics is based on the Quantum Mechanical effects of Light on Semiconducting materials, sometimes in the presence of Electric Field s.

Photoelectric or photovoltaic effect, used in:

--- Photodiode s (including Solar Cell s)

--- Phototransistor s

--- Photomultiplier s

--- Integrated Optical Circuit (IOC) elements

Photoconductivity, used in:

--- Light-dependent Resistor s

--- Photoconductive Camera Tube s

--- Charge-coupled Imaging Device s

Stimulated Emission , used in:

--- Laser s

--- injection Laser Diode s

Lossev effect, or Radiative Recombination , used in:

--- Light-emitting Diode s or LED

Photoemissivity , used in

--- Photoemissive Camera Tube

Important applications of optoelectronics include:
